The cloud forest tree frog (Megastomatohyla nubicola) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] William Edward Duellman described the species in 1964; he placed it in the genus Hyla. The specific name, nubicola, Latin for "sky-dwelling", refers to its habitat being a cloud forest.[3] It was transferred to Megastomatohyla upon that genus's circumscription in 2005.[4]
